GRITtv: Saving Sumatra's Peatland Forests

In Sumatra, Indonesia, the peatland forests are unique and a precious natural resource. Peatlands harbor some of the world's carbon-richest soil, which is then released into the atmosphere when the forests are burned and destroyed. This video from Greenpeace takes us to the site of the logging, where plantations for palm oil for biofuels or trees for paper are taking over where peatland forests once were.
